On a more positive note, I'm definitely stoked about getting this album. I have "Devastator" on my phone, and my phone speaker can't even handle the breakdown, it begins to distort.

Wow, I'm sorry, I love For Today, but this review has done no justice for them. I am sure you had good intentions behind it, but use some sort of editing.

Terrible review. Great band. I wouldn't be surprised if this review pushed people away from the band because you explain them like some generic-core band, which they are not.

I'm noticing a pattern here.
In all seriousness, I love For Today, this review sucked, but I am stoked for the new album!

They are generic-core. Nothing but melodeath leads and breakdowns. This band is becoming very boring very quickly. That being said, I enjoyed their other albums.

Hahaha read the last 2 lines of the review. I just don't understand. I have it on preorder too, man! My friend went to one of their CD release shows and go the album 2 days ago, so I borrowed it. You will not be dissappointed!!

"the rapping needs to be a bit stronger?" what the hell does that even mean?!?!

The cd is based around a poem written by Jose Palos called none other then "breaker". So it's not actually meant to be rapping. It is actually someone reciting a poem. Apparently, the reviewer didn't think that this was important enough to mention lol I'll admit though it does kinda sound like the raised tu-pac from the dead and had him do the poem reciting traks lol

I just bought the cd yesterday... I wait till a band has at least 3 cd's or more, before I consider them "one of my fav bands". For today is def one of my fav bands now. This cd is absolutely amazing! I will agree there are some things I feel that they did just to sell records such as the breakdown in every song that sounds like the acacia strain... But seriously, this cd is legit.

Also, I don't really like the guest vocals from the vocalist of stray from the path. His vocal style didn't really match the lyrics or riff that he was screaming along to.

Overall, I'd give this cd an 8 out of 10. I just feel that there are at least 2 songs (aside from the annoying "rapping" tracks) that I actually listened to 5-7 times and just skip now when I listen to the cd. Every other song is classic amazing for today just made a little easier to sell. Hope this helps anyone thinking about buying the cd!

Just received it in the mail a few days ago. I love it, White Flag is amazing.

Ya white flag is pretty legit... I think my fav song has to be devestator though. That song just gets me so effin pumped.

I thought the guest vocal was great. It really worked because the theme matched Stray From the Path. Plus its better then having a singer that sounds almost alike just doing some standard highs or Oliver Sykes guest vocals with Blind Witness. Haha

Ya after I saw them play this live, I agree with you. After I have listened to the cd now like 80 times lol The guest vocals are great!

Anyway, with that being said, my mate just lent me Breaker today, and holy shit, I'm impressed. There's a lot of power behind this album, and it flows really well.

I don't buy into the whole 'Christian metalcore' thing. If you're Christian, good for you, it's great you have faith. There's no 'atheist metalcore' or 'agnostic metalcore' or 'Buddhist metalcore', I just don't see why they need to call themselves Christian. Something to prove?


They sing about their faith, hence Christian metalcore. Have you heard of a band that only sings about Buddha? Also, Viking and Pirate metal are the same. They just sing about vikings and pirates, but yet they get their own genre.

It's seeming a lot more like a trend to me. The amount of 'Christian-vegan-straight edge-anarchist' hardcore punk bands there are on my local scene is ridiculous.
